Sitting on the dock of Chincoteague Bay… I love this picture.<\/p>\n

We are here on Chincoteague Island- enjoying family time, food, the beach, the ponies and good food.  Did I mention the food?( It’s been really, really good!)<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a> \"beach<\/a> <\/p>\n

We left early Sunday morning- the sky was gorgeous- I put my camera on top of the car and clicked away.<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a> \"beach<\/a> \"beach<\/a> <\/p>\n

And the sky by the Bay Bridge was a beautiful blue.  (BTW- I LOVE the EZPass- you can just drive on through and even have your own lane on the other bridge!)<\/p>\n

We went to Island Creamery and had ice cream on the first night.<\/p>\n

Then we went to meet this beauty-<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a> \"beach<\/a> \"beach<\/a> <\/p>\n

who seriously wanted to nibble on my arm.<\/p>\n

Aidan decided he DID NOT want to ride on a pony.<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a> No- NO rides!<\/p>\n

Then we ran about town for a while- shopping and buying (I’ll show pictures of our lovely yarn later).<\/p>\n

And  then we had a wonderful meal for dinner of grilled pork shops, singing potatoes, steamed broccoli  and cheddar bay biscuits.<\/p>\n

No pictures- we snarfed it down right quick.<\/p>\n

BUT- I was watching Luke make a special appetizer, Shrimp ceviche.<\/p>\n

The beauty of this dish is that you use citric acid to cook the shrimp.<\/p>\n

Citric acid, as in lemon and lime juice.<\/p>\n

Luke made up his own recipe and he graciously offered to share it with us all.<\/p>\n

Shrimp and Avocado Ceviche<\/strong><\/p>\n

3\/4 lb of raw shrimp, deveined and cut into 1\/2 inch pieces<\/p>\n

Juice from 1 1\/2 lemons<\/p>\n

Juice from 1 lime<\/p>\n

1 pepper- chopped (habenero, serrano, or your choice)<\/p>\n

1 medium cuke, chopped<\/p>\n

1 medium tomato, chopped and seeded<\/p>\n

1 avocado, sliced into cubes<\/p>\n

1\/2 bunch cilantro, chopped<\/p>\n

salt and pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

Put shrimp into glass bowl and pour juice over it.<\/p>\n

Stir well, add other ingredients and watch the shrimp turn pink!<\/p>\n

Let sit in refrigerator for 3 hours, covered with plastic wrap.<\/p>\n

Serve with blue corn chips and enjoy!<\/p>\n
